June 1999
Surveyed June 6, 1999 by Pamela Hosey Long and Martha and Mark
Hosey Jr., accompanied by the Rev. Cecil Little
LOCATION: Clanton, AL
LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE: 30º 22' 27"N, 88º 09' 20"W
HISTORY: Two of the original Chilton County pioneer families, Popwell
and Moore, are buried here. The site is on private property, but through
the efforts of the Rev. Cecil Little and a committee of devoted genealogists
and family historians, the land has been deeded forever to the descendants
of the Moore and Popwell families. The Rev. Little and his committee, along
with donations from other interested parties, have restored and fenced off
the cemetery, which lies under an oak grove between two residential homes.
DESCRIPTION: The cemetery is quite small, and is in the process of being
cleared and restored. Several tombstones are missing, and some have recently
been replaced with new stones.
